Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.

The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
